Abstract :
The Taiwan Light Source (TLS) is a third-generation synchrotron light source located at the Synchrotron Radiation Research Center (SRRC) in Taiwan. The TLS is now operating routinely for user experiments, and the highest priorities are increasing user beam time, increasing machine reliability, and improving the stability of the stored electron beam. Many current machine upgrades are intended to improve beam stability: the longitudinal feedback system, orbit feedback systems, radiofrequency-system improvements (better higher-order-mode performance), and utilities upgrades. In addition, a major improvement program to increase the stored beam current is being planned
